Reviews for IL Bistro in Seattle, WA
I thought the food was good. The service was great. They accommodated our whole family. 5 adults 3 children under 6 years old.... The whole restaurant had a dim romantic feel. The only thing I didn't like is that the seat in the toilet was broken and it keptsliding to the side it pinched my daughter's leg. But other than that it was a nice place to eat. All the servers were reallynice and attentive. We didn't wait long to be seated even without a reservation and we didn't wait long for our food either.Please ???? if this helped you. Thank you. ????

Okay, I'm a big food critic, and had my fair share of the okay Italian in Seattle, and this is just that, it's okay. About a... 6/10. The lighting is very dim, good for the romantics, but not a social dinner with friends which is what we had. I got thechicken parmesan. Marinara sauce was average, chicken was well cooked, but not drop dead delicious. Pasta was fine and seasonedwell enough. The plating was bad as it's served on a long skinny plate and as you cut into the chicken, your pasta -- like mine-- will fall off the plate onto the table. The focaccia with olive oil and vinegar was 10/10 though! Super fresh andscrumptious. And the fried risotto was pretty good. My friends got the rigatoni bolognese, beef spare rib, and quattro formagiopizza. Rigatoni meat and pasta was alright and was peppered with enough flavor. The spare rib was very tender and the cheesethey served with it was popping. The pizza was the best entre out of everyone's. A good decent pizza for a restaurant. There'snothing memorable about this spot good or bad. It's just, okay. The reason for 6/10 for sure definitely comes from the priceconsidering what you get. It's got tourist Pike Place market prices for average quality Italian. And to top it off, we were atable of four and on the check there was a 24.5% tip already applied! Now Gina was a nice enough server and I'm a generous guy,but not 24.5% tip for usual tempo service. She didn't talk to us or check in often, she just was, and that isn't 24.5% auto tipcaliber. So come if you want, but know there is plenty of better spots with better Italian for a better price in Seattle and Idon't think the ambiance sells it enough. 6/10. Read more
The salmon was good but the spaghetti was amazing! As was the vanilla bean express desert. Service, atmosphere, and pricing were... all spot on! I was very impressed with this place, and would recommend it if you’re in the area. Read more

The food was very good, however the lighting is very dim. So if you wear glasses, bring them. I enjoyed all of the dishes we... ordered and they were authentic Italian. My favorite was the pesto sausage pasta and the chicken Parmesan. Read more

One of my top romantic Italian spots in Seattle. Delicious food. Spectacular service. Definitely a hidden gem.
I’m giving 3 stars because I don’t wanna be mean but the food is terrible lol do not recommend. My friend got food poisoning... here from one of the pasta dishes. Besides that, the pasta was straight up bad. Took over an hour to get our food for somereason (we didn’t order anything crazy, literally just pasta dishes, and it wasn’t busy). I’m guessing they’reunderstaffed and don’t have any good cooks working at the moment, that sucks for them but still would recommend avoiding thisplace lol Read more
